Cristhian Carrillo ARTIST STATEMENT FINAL REVIEW

INQUIRY: (What I'm doing and why)

Through my work I am investigating color, balance, and design.

Color specifically drive my process, cause I try to find what is pleasing to the eye of the viewer in relation to the shape of the subjects.

Visually my ideas are expressed in a manner of feeling, rather it be through typography or technique. I am investigating the idea of not using words to compliment the work in getting the idea across but rather letting the work convey the message on its own through design.

PROCESS: (How I'm doing it)

I am using more techniques such as transparencies, layers and colors in my designs, with less and less typography as I continue the process.

CONTEXT: (Where my work fits)

In graphic design history, I would not say my work can be formally critiqued because the process is all done in the state of mind using design.

Promotional/ marketing in a cultural context.

QCQ The Truth of Art Cristhian Carrillo

Boris Groys

The Truth of Art

*1. QUOTE - “The traditional museum system is ambivalent in relation to the desire for nonidentity. On the one hand, the museum offers to the artist a chance to transcend his or her own time, with all its taxonomies and nominal identities. The museum promises to carry the artist’s work into the future. However, the museum betrays this promise at the same moment it fulfills it.”

2. COMMENT (100 word minimum) - I chose this quote because I thought it related in a business sense towards artists. I believe the quote reflects upon the hard truth museums have about artists and use them for their popularity during the trend of the time, however can we really blame them.I haven't related in that way because I am not entirely an artist who shows or would show work in a gallery or museum setting.
